Multimedia presentations

  Please note: there was some background noise at the filming location but we hope that this does not distract from the overall content and viewing experience.

  Interviews with delegates at the 2nd iNet international conference of school principals in Mauritius introduced by Professor Brian J. Caldwell (Australia) and featuring Beverley Coffey (Australia), Hafeeza Ben Nabheebucus (Mauritius), Wim de Visser (The Netherlands), James Genis (South Africa).

• Two Million Minutes This short excerpt from the complete film takes a deeper look at how the three superpowers of the 21st Century - China, India and the United States - are preparing their students for the future. As we follow two students - a boy and a girl - from each of these countries, we compose a global snapshot of education, from the viewpoint of kids preparing for their future. The following three sample videos have been made available for open access visitors.
